Best Minuses Poems

Easy Money

Buy now, pay later.

You’ve got credit!
We’ve got debt.

Let’s swap.

It’s how we derive
With asset backed securities

For your house equities

To burrow into your burdens
Our financial inequities

Those company bonuses

As we put you into minuses!
Buy now pay later, so they tell us

Like what comes out of anuses....

There has always been an inter-outer over-under tender balance of loveless socio-equations as they super fit the psychosocial sexe-endices in this modern garner of pluses/minuses/bytes and scribbles mostly incommunicado inexperience and parental impreciseness as to, "anything planned", which in tomb leaves us doth a deranged...

We met out of circumstances
that would seem insignificant

But you've got that magic
of turning minuses to plus
as you always find a way
to solve for the x in my life.
And even as much as
I can solve maths pretty well,
I believe that you solve mine better.
And I love...

It's been a while since I've told this tale
Thinking of it still makes me pale.
Was it hubris or foolishness or naivete'
That made me want to go away.

I wasn't leaving which you understood
But the job they offered just seemed too good.
Long distance marriage was not your...

Waking up to despair,
sadness,
bone-tired at war with a beeping alarm clock,
an alarming list of immediately urgent responsibilities
without an opportunity in sight,
or at least not this first despairing fright,
at end of night.

If this sounds familiar
as at least your normal Monday through Friday,
you probably need a better...

It was warm today 
wasn't in the minuses 
dipping down again.

Today was the first day in the past couple of weeks that it was and stayed above 0 degrees Celsius. It's going to dip below zero again tonight. After...

No youngster himself, Fred often repeats what his father used to say: 

"There are always preludes to hell." 

For Fred one of those preludes is waiting for service people, folks who fix the things in life Fred can’t fix. Their number is legion.

Another prelude is...

In the last four years I have had no seasonal allergies
Thanks to all of Chaga’s wonderful properties.
Then comes along spring of twenty seventeen
And I am back swallowing a bunch of antihistamine,
For I had stop consuming my magic potion.
Really, truly,  I had no notion,
Of all...

In dredging memory for childhood moments,
Those lingering longest in abysmal slumber.
I've searched for seed in crevice and shadow,
Absent of sound, I found inordinate number.

Exposed were seedlings long ago planted,
Infertile and parched until this sounding.
But detrimental seed weren't sown deep,
Satan's recall is most keen and abounding.

You can keep swinging in your smile
as your eyes see through the cylinder only
where the flowers radiate the scent
where the leaves wait for the rustle
of the fondling wind
where stars wait for the music
of the magical light peaks
where the blue sky waits 
for the golden kite

May Mother Nature receive her due
For seasons of splendor each in kind
Contrasts noted in color and format
Starting with spring, her minuses few,
Then, summer in her brightest blues we find
Until autumn shows us nature’s palette
Of crimson, yellow, orange, and gold
All the vibrant colors we know are...

No pluses or minuses...

I have trouble writing in free verse 
As though my Minds stuck in reverse
Every time I think of a rhyme
It is defiantly writing time

That’s something that will cause a stump
The rhythm can’t go bumpity bump
I am a simple country girl 
Few fancy words go in...

If you know what you're sad about
What you're angry and mad about
     Be a bit of a gadabout
     Find something to be glad about

You dwell on the minuses
Complain about the Why-nesses
     Time to...
